Bette Midler Actually Claims Planned Parenthood ‘Isn’t Killing Children,’ Chalks Up Their Deaths to the NRA

Bette Midler may not be the dumbest celebrity in the world, but she is in the top two. Her last foray into ignorance is the claim that Planned Parenthood does not kill children. How many abortions are there where the victim lives? If they did live, wouldn’t that defeat the entire purpose of an abortion? She further claims that the NRA kills children. I would like to see her back up that claim with some evidence.

As one person tweeted:

From The Blaze

The Daily Wire pointed out that while the NRA supports legal and responsible gun ownership and provides firearms training, it doesn’t sell guns or ammunition.

But according to Planned Parenthood’s most recently available stats, the organization performed 354,871 abortions in its 2019-2020 fiscal year — and a number of commenters on Midler’s tweet argued in that spirit, saying Planned Parenthood certainly does kill children.

• “Funny, I haven’t killed anyone, and I’m a lifelong NRA member. I also don’t know anyone who owns a firearm, that has killed a child with said firearm. However, I can name several acquaintances who have had abortions — some multiple abortions,” one commenter replied.
• “Planned Parenthood was designed to eradicate the black children in the U.S. by Margaret Sanger. It is still going on today. 79% of Planned Parenthood offices are in poor neighborhoods,” another user told Midler. “What does that tell you?”
• “So why is it considered double homicide to kill a pregnant woman? If it’s not ‘killing a baby’? And NRA isn’t killing people. People are killing people. With knives, swords, guns, blunt objects, cars, hands, etc.,” another commenter pointed out.
• “Planned Parenthood has been murdering babies for decades that’s their main purpose for existing…taxpayers should not have to pay for other people’s abortions you fund them please post examples of the NRA killing babies…you liberal lunatic…” another user wrote.

#SCOTUS has revealed itself to be just another political tool, as the three new unabashedly biased conservatives plus the old push the court to undermine women’s rights. Shameful. They will never recover from this; it’s right up there with #DredScott and #PlessyVFerguson.

Out of 9 justices, 7 on #SCOTUS are Catholic. (Neil Gorsuch was born Catholic, but in a burst of #Anglophilia, is now #Episcopalian). Does that scream “diversity of opinion” or “ability to be objective and fair” to you given the historic #RomanCatholic antipathy to abortion?

These “Justices”want to condemn thousands of unwanted kids to lives of untold heartbreak, misery & neglect. They presume “safe haven” kids get adopted. Well, they don’t. Do your homework, you fools. They’re stuck in limbo until they age out, with no families no skills no hope.

Midler has never won an Oscar for stupidity, but she should be awarded a special one for lifetime achievement:

• Last December she apologized after describing West Virginia as “poor, illiterate and strung out.”
• Last summer she proposed a sex strike to fight Texas’ abortion law but got torn to shreds by both sides of the political aisle.
• In May 2021, Midler got smacked down after comparing unvaccinated children attending in-person school to bringing peanut products to classrooms despite the danger to children with peanut allergies: “If my kid can’t bring peanut butter to school then yours can’t bring the deathly plague. Vaccinate or I’m bringing the Jiffy.”
• In August 2020, she kinda-sorta apologized after a deluge of criticism for calling then-first lady Melania Trump an “illegal alien” during the Republican National Convention and saying, “Oh, God. She still can’t speak English.”

If ignorance is bliss, Midler must be in Nirvana.
